Question

For the same value of n, the penetration power of orbitals follows the order

Answer 1

Explanation:

Therefore, for the same shell value (n) the penetrating power of an electron follows this trend in subshells: s>p>d>f And for different values of shell (n) and subshell (l), penetrating power of an electron follows this trend: 1s>2s>2p>3s>3p>4s>3d>4p>5s>4d>5p>6s>4f.... and the energy of an electron for each shell.

Answer 2

Answer:

The penetration power of an electron is how upcoming electrons approach the nucleus.

For the same shell value (n), the penetration power of orbitals follows the order  s > p > d > f

Orbitals:

• Is a three-dimensional space around a nucleus where an electron is most likely to found.
• Has a shape that represents the electron density
• Can hold up to 2 electrons
• Both electrons must spin in the opposite direction
